the problem, though, is that this also hides drivers which are not handling unordered initializations properly. If everything is built as a module, udev might device to load modules in whatever order it might see fit. Zhangfei, you're claiming boot time is shorter with this patch. How much shorter ? How have you measured the time you saved ? -- balbi
